In the continuing effort to increase
consumer awareness on the benefits of diesel technology, Chrysler LLC has
expanded the Jeep Grand Cherokee diesel lineup to include the 3.0-liter
V-6 diesel engine on the 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo (X Package).
Pricing for the diesel engine option also has been reduced by $1,000 on the
2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited and Overland models equipped with the
class-leading diesel engine.

The manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) for the 3.0-liter V-6
diesel engine on the Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo is $2,585 for 4x2 models
and $3,235 for 4x4 models.

The reduced MSRP for the diesel engine on the 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee
Limited is $1,655 for 4x2 and 4x4 models and the MSRP for the diesel engine
on the 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland 4x2 and 4x4 models is $1,010. Jeep
Grand Cherokee Laredo models equipped with the 3.0-liter diesel engine will
begin to arrive at dealerships in late November.

"The 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee diesel offers class-leading torque and
driving range as well as outstanding towing capacity," said John Plecha,
Director -- Jeep Brand Marketing and Global Communications. "By expanding
engine availability and reducing existing prices we hope that more
consumers will be encouraged to take advantage of this clean, renewable
fuel. Chrysler believes that clean diesel technology can and should be a
part of the national energy solution and we will continue to build upon our
diesel leadership."

The 3.0-liter V-6 diesel engine, built by Mercedes-Benz, produces 215 hp
(160 kW) @ 3,800 rpm, has a class-leading 376 lb.-ft. torque (510 N*m) @
1,600-2,800 rpm and can tow up to 7,400 pounds. The 3.0-liter engine gives
the Jeep Grand Cherokee a class-leading driving range of approximately 450
miles and gets an estimated fuel economy of 18 miles city and 23 miles
highway for 4x2 models and 17 miles city and 22 miles highway for 4x4
models. Earlier in the year, the engine earned a spot on Ward's "10 Best
Engines" list.

The Jeep Grand Cherokee diesel is manufactured at the Jefferson North
Assembly Plant in Detroit. The Jeep Grand Cherokee diesel is fueled with B5
(5 percent) biodiesel at the assembly plant to help increase the awareness
of biodiesel. The Jeep brand also produces a flex-fuel capable 4.7-liter
SOHC V-8 engine, which gives customers the ability to use a fuel with an up
to 85 percent concentration of ethanol (E85) in their vehicles.

Jeep Brand
The Jeep brand has seven models in the 2008 model year, the most
available to retail consumers at one time in its 66-year history.

The expansion of the Jeep brand has taken place in just two years. At
the start of 2004, the brand's trio of tough, capable, rugged SUVs included
the venerable Jeep Grand Cherokee, Jeep Liberty (Cherokee outside North
America) and the icon of the brand, the Jeep Wrangler.

In 2005, the Jeep Commander was introduced. In 2006, the redesigned Jeep
Wrangler was unveiled. Also debuting in 2006 were three more all-new Jeep
vehicles: Jeep Patriot, Jeep Compass and the four-door Jeep Wrangler
Unlimited.
